Free Guides

We want our clients to buy safely, and while we can offer guidance and answer your questions in person, we also produce a range of guides to download and keep with you. They are written by experts and cover the key aspects of international transfers and buying overseas.

When buying a property overseas, transferring a large sum of money is inevitable so you need to be sure to plan your transfers in advance to ensure you avoid the risk of exchange rates moving against you. Learn more with our dedicated guide.

Dedicated guides for property buyers

Buying a property may be only half of the story, however. If you buy abroad, how will Brexit affect you? If you need to send money back to the UK, what is the best way of doing that?

We have guides that cover all of these popular questions.

All of our guides are written by experts with years of experience within the currency exchange or property industries. As they have faced the same challenges as you, they are perfectly placed to share their wisdom.

Educational material for all levels of understanding

Every Smart Currency Exchange client is allocated a personal trader to walk them through the process, to explain the services and to address any questions or concerns that crop up along the way. In addition, our Market Updates will keep you informed of the day’s currency movements. This free email will explain what happened to currencies the previous day, and the economic and political moves that could affect the value of your currency tomorrow. It can be sent direct to your inbox, every morning.

Having helped people to buy their dream homes abroad safely for over a decade, we have built up a body of expertise, along with our partners at Rightmove, Property Guides, Your Overseas Home and others.
